Sorry, i missed this post, so only getting back to you now.
No bad points as of yet, as for choice, definitely go for the 318ti and in M Sport
trim if you can find one.

Thats a sweet little ride bro, picked mine up about 6 months ago, same titan silver colour, goes like a bat out of hell. I did some checking on my ride & discovered it has the factory sports package fitted (rare in Australia) & the full electric sunroof, love driving the beastie, so agile & quick it puts a lot of aussie performance cars to shame, am currently looking at engine & gearbox mods for now....

Looking good! You have to add OEM Xenons, they are really worth it. Apart from Germany Spain & Portugal has many modded Compacts. The 2.0 Diesel engine can go as far as pushing 240 Cv with big turbos & Intercoolers
